    Their V12 is two Ford V6s joined together.

    Then go cry about it badge lover.

    You'll be in for a lot of disappointments if you don't realise that every engine is just math and alloy.
    Horsepower wins races. Torque pulls trailers.

    How else would they do it? Start developing a V12 from scratch, going bankrupt in the process? I think not.

    Only development mules and concept have engines "glued" together.

    No one mentioned this but apprently the fact holden is building this engine is incorrect.....
    Lifts heavy things and hits hard......also eats as much as 2/3 people and sleeps 10 hours a day!
